Ida hat nichts bei sich außer dem alten, verschrammten Hartschalenkoffer ihrer Mutter, ein paar Lieblingsklamotten und ihrem MacBook, als sie ihr Zuhause verlässt. Es ist wahrscheinlich ein Abschied für immer von der Kleinstadt, in der sie ihr ganzes Leben verbracht hat. Im Abschiednehmen ist Ida richtig schlecht; sie hat es vor zwei Monaten nicht einmal auf die Beerdigung ihrer Mutter geschafft. Am Bahnhof sucht sie sich den Zug aus, der am weitesten wegfährt – und landet auf Rügen. Ohne Plan, nur mit einem großen Klumpen aus Wut, Trauer und Schuld im Bauch, streift sie über die Ostseeinsel.

Eddie Winston ist 90 Jahre alt. Er hat viel gesehen, viel erlebt und auch geliebt, doch er wartet immer noch auf seinen ersten Kuss ... Als echter Gentleman und unverbesserlicher Romantiker verbringt Eddie seine Tage als Freiwilliger in einem Wohltätigkeitsladen, wo er die Spenden sortiert. Doch manches bewahrt Eddie auf wie einen kostbaren Schatz: alte, zerfledderte Briefe. Den weichen Schal, in dem noch ein letzter Hauch vom Parfüm der Trägerin hängt. Die bekritzelten Chucks mit den zwei Initialen. Dinge, bei denen Eddie spürt, dass sie für irgendjemanden da draußen noch eine Bedeutung haben.
